Kyoto, Japan Summer Mission: Epic Movement

This trip is either already full or will not be taking place this year. Please check back next year for more info!

Kyoto is the cultural capital of Japan and draws students from throughout Japan and from all around the world. Students here are quite open to exchanging ideas and have conversations with foreigners; many are even spiritually open. One of the ways you can connect with local students here is through sharing your story of being an ethnic minority in the US.

As a college student, there are so many options for how you can spend your summer. On Epic Movement Mission Trips, you’ll have the opportunity to take the good news of forgiveness in Jesus to the world. Not only will you be doing good work for the Lord, but He will grow you in faith and in skills you can have for a lifetime of following Jesus. Plus, you will experience a valuable cross-cultural exchange and even have opportunities for leadership and work. Come join us!

Note: This mission trip is intended for students involved with Epic or who identify as Asian or Asian American.
